I need inspirational advice for someone who lost their child and was there falt and can't forgive themselves

Question

I need advice of what to say to a friend who accidently hit his child with his vehicle, I need christian advice of what to say?

Answer 1

You said that he accidentally hit his child. It was an accident, and they do happen. Unless he had malice in his heart when he did it, God would not be angry or upset with him.

We are always sad when we lose a loved one, and of course, that sadness is only multiplied when we consider the life that is lost. But look at the life that is gained! Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, do not stop them, because the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these. " (Matt He also said, "Truly, I say to thee, unless you repent [lit., turn] and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of God."

The children are the image of perfection in the eyes of God, and we can be assured that there is no hesitation; children immediately return to the presence of God when they die. God also assures us that these tears are temporary: "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." (Rev 21:4)

The pain is immeasurable, but we can offer the assurance of salvation, both for us and that child, who already is experiencing the joy of complete oneness with the presence of God.

Answer 2

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. There are many parents who accdentally injure or cause the death of their child. It must be completely devastating. All you can do is love them and be a comfort to them, and let them know that a body of believers they don't even know has lifted them up in prayer. I am praying for them and for you that They will find healing and comfort and come closer to God through this tragedy. I am praying for you as well that God give you the words to say and opportunities to minister to their needs. Maybe you could print out some of the responses here and show them how many others are praying or thinking of them. May God's peace be on them.

Answer 3

If their child were alive today wouldn't he/she be distressed to see Mommy or Daddy in such pain? Live for the memory of the child's life, not the child's death. She/he is irreplaceable, yes, but so are you (the parent). Ease up on yourself, your child would want that.


PS. I am not Christian, nonetheless I can and do understand human joy and pain.

Answer 4

omg i will pray for him. well tell him that God doesnt blame him for it for starters but i dont really know what you can do exept be there for him when ever you can. I'll pray the lord gives you something to say to him and that you have the strength to help him. I'll pray that he is okay. make sure he stays with the lord because he needs God at a hard time like this.

Answer 5

Say God loves him (the child) so much that HE himself has taken the child to Heaven to be protected from the bad deeds of the human world and want the child to be pure and onnocent from the deceit of this world.

Answer 6

i can imagine what your friend is going through. i know that they are dying inside with guilt. even if accidently. its very hard we know but after proffessional help ,they do need it. there's always the spiritual side and even meditate and sort of make peace with themselves to heal themselves and free them of guilt feelings. i am sure this child is in heaven and a beautiful angel who is at God's side praying for her parents. this child is pure and still intact with the world's badness.

Answer 7

How tragic. I'm so sorry for your friend and his loss. You may want to let that one alone and pray that God shows him that it was not really his fault.
If you are really close and think it would not strain your relationship, You could tell him that if Jesus Christ can forgive him, then surely he can forgive himself.
Best to just pray for him. I will as well. God bless you.
